3.1 Overview of Hardware Installation and
Upgrading
The panel PC consists of a PC-based computer that is housed in a
plastic front and rear panel. Any maintenance or hardware upgrades
can be easily completed after removing both panels. Meanwhile your
HDD, SDRAM, CPU are all readily accessible by removing the CPU
heatsink and HDD carrier.
If you are a systems integrator and need to know how to completely
disassemble the panel PC, you can find more useful information in
Appendix B.

3.2 Installing the 2.5" Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
You can attach one enhanced Integrated Device Electronics (IDE) hard
disk drive to the panel PC's internal controller which uses a PCI
local-bus interface. The advanced IDE controller supports faster data
transfer and allows the IDE hard drive to exceed 528 MB. The following
instructions are for the installation:
1. Detach the HDD carrier by unscrewing one screw on the right side
of the HDD carrier.
2. First connect the adapter connector to the 2.5" hard drive, then
place the HDD inside the HDD carrier and tighten four screws from
both sides of the HDD carrier as shown in Figure 3-1.
3. The HDD cable (FPC type) is next to the HDD carrier.
